Sony WF-1000XM4 Review: Incredibly Powerful Earbuds
When it
comes to wireless earbuds, we think of Apple’s Airpod first. Because of its
high-quality music and wireless range. When such a device already exists in the
market, it is tough for users to find the best alternative for Airpods.
However,
it is tough to find a pair of earbuds that gives similar quality as what
AirPods offers. But, if any brand can beat Apple’s AirPods, then undoubtedly it
will be Sony’s WF-1000XM4 earbuds. The second-generation WF-1000XM4 earbuds
have launched in the market in its more mature era.
Sony’s
second-gen true wireless earbuds are compelling against their overall
counterparts in terms of features and specs. And its
The
newly launched true wireless WF-1000XM4 is Sony’s huge success. WF-1000XM4 is
pretty small, light-weighted, and more hi-tech than ever. However, it has some
issues, but when it comes to overall performance, there is literally no one in
the field to compete with it.
Sony’s
true wireless WF-1000XM4 earbuds are slightly more expensive than its predecessors.
But it comprises more features than ever, so a slight price increment won’t
affect you. Its compact design makes it portable, and the accompanying app
allows you to easily manipulate the controls and your EQ settings.

Design
of WF-1000XM4
The
previous WF-1000XM3 provided us several reasons to suggest them. But Discretion
was not high enough on that queue. The WF-1000XM3 was big in size. So,
eventually, their charging case was also heavy and big. But this time, Sony has
reduced the size of its latest earbuds that make them more comfortable and
portable. The latest WF-1000XM4 comes with a 10% reduced size, and its charging
case is 40% reduced than its predecessor.
Sony’s
true wireless WF-1000XM4 earbuds include a few of the features initially
demonstrated on previous year’s WF-1000XM4. Features like noise cancellation,
quick pairing for windows and Android devices, and “speak to chat,” etc. Active
noise-cancellation is augmented by the newfound polyurethane ear tips specially
developed to offer modified passive noise reduction.
Your
one-stop solution for controlling the latest earbuds is Sony’s fully featured
and stable Headphones app. With this app, you can fully control your WF-1000XM4
wireless earbuds. It also has EQ adjustment with area for a custom preset or two.
Plus, the option for enabling auto-pause and DSEE Extreme on or off.
Control
is also available with three voice assistants- Alexa, Google Assistant, and
Siri, which can be enabled by their built-in “wake” word.

Sony
has skipped the WF-1000XM2 to show the full-sized and WF-1000XM3 editions were
of the same lineage. If the WF-1000XM3 models were close, then the XM4 editions
are interweaved. When it comes to features, everything on the full-sized
WF-1000XM4 is present here.
Sony’s
latest XM4 has 8 hours battery life per earbud, which is two times greater than
the WF-1000XM3.

case consists of three charges, but the highest the XM4 can touch is 36 hours.
When noise cancellation turns off, the battery lasts four times more than
